Project description:Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a common form of head and neck cancer with poor prognosis. However, the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of LSCC remains unclear. We performed high throughout transcriptome sequencing to identify lncRNA, mRNA, and circRNA that associated with LSCC progression.Transcriptome sequencing were performed on a cohort of LSCC tissues (50 samples) and paired adjacent normal mucosa tissues (50 samples).

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of primary HCC tumors and their non-tumor tissue counterparts. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in 20 paired tumor and non-tumor tissues which were obtained from HCC patients who underwent surgery. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 20 paired samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2
Project description:Purpose: Liver-specific MPC-knockout (Mpc1-/-, LivKO) mice develop less liver tumors than wild-type (Mpc1+/+) mice when given a DEN/CCl4 hepatocarcinogenesis protocol. The goals of this study are to compare transcriptome changes (RNA-seq) between liver tumor and normal-adjacent tissue in WT and Mpc1-/- mice. Methods: Total RNA was collected from tumor and paired normal-adjacent liver samples using the Qiagen miRNeasy kit. RNA from four samples each of wild-type tumor (WT-Tumor), paired wild-type normal-adjacent (WT normal adjacent), Mpc1-/- (MPC LivKO) tumor (MPC LivKO-Tumor), and paired MPC LivKO normal-adjacent (MPC LivKO normal adjacent) tissue was isolated. Each tumor and its paired normal-adjacent tissue were analyzed in a paired manner. Library preparation and sequencing were performed using the Illumina mRNA-Seq workflow. For data normalization, the raw number of reads for each transcript was converted to Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads (FPKM). FPKM values were log transformed, and unsupervised clustering was performed on samples based on normalized expression of genes with variation in Euclidean distance among samples of at least 2.5 standard deviations using Cluster 3 software. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 50 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (buildmm10) and identified 15,777 transcripts in the liver tissue samples of WT an Mpc1-/- (MPC LivKO) with Illumina workflow. FPKM values were log transformed, and unsupervised clustering was performed using Cluster 3 software. Unsupervised clustering analysis identified six gene expression groups: (1) increased gene expression in both WT and LivKO tumors, (2) increased gene expression in WT tumors, (3) increased gene expression in MPC LivKO tumors, (4) decreased gene expression down in both WT and LivKO tumors, (5) decreased gene expression in WT tumors, and (6) decreased gene expression in MPC LivKO tumors. Conclusions: Our study is the first on Mpc1-/- liver tumors. The HCC markers Alpha-fetoprotein (Afp) and Glypican-3 (Gpc3) were in the cluster of genes upregulated in both WT and MPC LivKO tumors. In the cluster of 14 genes up-regulated in only WT tumors were two GSTs: Gsta1 and Gstp2. In the cluster of 108 genes down-regulated in only MPC LivKO tumors were three GSTs: Gsta2, Gsta3, and Mgst1. That same cluster contained Gpx1, glutathione peroxidase (Gpx1). Thus, we concluded WT tumors increased but MPC LivKO tumors decreased expression of glutathione metabolizing genes.
Project description:Although multi-omics studies of glioblastoma (GBM) have improved understanding of its biology nature and accelerated targeted therapy, data for paired adjacent normal tissues remains limited. Here, we report transcriptomes from 2 paired and 1 non-paired tumor and adjacent normal tissues (NAT) of glioblastoma (GBM) patients sequenced using Illumina Novaseq platform, and 150 bp paired-end reads were generated. This dataset provides a resource of paired GBM and normal tissues to identify novel tumor-specific oncogenes or tumor-suppressor genes.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tissue versus matched normal kidney tissue. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in tumor and adjacent normal kidney tissue samples from ccRCC patients. Samples included 46 paired fresh frozen ccRCC tumor and adjacent normal kidney tissues.
Project description:Purpose: To gain molecular insights of HBV integration that may contribute to HCC tumorigenesis, we performed whole transcriptome sequencing and whole genome copy number profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples from 50 Chinese patients. Conclusions: This is the first report on the molecular basis of the MLL4 integration driving MLL4 over-expression. HBV-MLL4 integration occurred frequently in Chinese HCC patients, representing a unique molecular segment for HCC with HBV infection. We profiled 50 Chinese Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients and 14 adjacent tissues using Agilent 244K array CGH technology. 50 Tumor samples also did RNASeq profiling.
Project description:Genome-scale DNA methylation was analyzed in a cohort of 50 hepatocellular adenomas and 4 normal liver tissues. We performed consensus clustering to identify homogeneous tumor clusters, and we characterized DNA methylation changes in tumor subgroups. Bisulfite converted DNA from 50 fresh frozen hepatocellular adenomas and 4 normal liver samples were hybridized to Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChips.
